Aura Soma Consultancy

You will be treated by Allison Timmins

Colour speaks a language of its own & Aura Soma is a mirror of the soul allowing you to recognise yourself at the deepest level. It is an intuitive self selective process and is guided by the star within. Each bottle has an energetic frequency & the combination within has the intention to heal. The bottles hold the keys to unlocking consciousness & reveal more of who we really are to ourself. The inner being identifies with colour & light & sees itself through the context of colour.

Aura Soma recognises the traditional 7 chakras or energy centres that correspond to a particular colour vibration & its wavelength. To function well this energy must operate as transceivers-both giving out & taking in energy as part of their function. Energy is information & the taking in of this energy is taken in & given out as light.

The attraction to a certain bottle indicates that we have the possibility of fine tuning the corresponding chakras through their sympathetic resonance with colour, gem & crystal energies in the bottles. Aura Soma may also assess & diagnose the conditions of the chakras. Having an Aura Soma consultation offers your soul the potential of fulfilment through its own perception of the colour code it has self selected.

"There is no greater guide than the one within ”

By choosing 4 bottles from the 107 the chosen combinations that both reveal us to ourselves & replenish us too. Who we are is what we express into the world. Aura Soma perfectly identifies the inner -tutor showing a reflection of who we are & what we need.

Health Kinesiology

Health Kinesiology (HK) is a successful and growing complementary therapy that has helped many people recover from symptoms and illnesses like allergies, asthma, food intolerances, eczema, stress, hay fever, candida and other everyday illnesses. But for many people, HK is still an unknown therapy.

You will be treated by Ben Calder

I was introduced to Health Kinesiology (HK) and the interests that had been developed were given a very simple and powerful organising structure which brought them all together beautifully.

Finding HK was like turning a big light on, creating motivational and passional forces that initiated a change in career and the development of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual lifestyle that I had known was possible, but hadn’t been able to make a reality until now.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Alison Jenks – Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist

This is a technique developed by Dr. Vodder to encourage the natural healing process within the human body by stimulating lymphatic vessels, thus increasing lymph flow.

This is achieved by using gentle, rhythmical skin movement in the direction of lymph flow, it is performed slowly to allow the body to adjust and register the change.  No oils or massage mediums are used.

The lymphatic system is the body’s transport system for waste, nutrients and excessive tissue fluid.

Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system does not have a pump; it relies mainly on arterial pulse, muscular movement and the digestion process so it is prone to become sluggish, particularly if the body is dehydrated.  The lymph fluid can become thick and treacle like which hinders circulation, MLD will encourage lymph fluid to flow more efficiently by increasing the fluid in the circulation causing it to thin to a more watery consistency.

MLD is different to massage because:

- the therapy works by using skin movement to encourage the Initial Lymph Vessels (ILVs) to open more widely, the ILVs are only .3 mm below the skin surface so the pressure is very light
- because we want to move the skin no oils or massage mediums are used
- we always work toward the related lymph node
- the routine would work starting at the main exit point for the lymph, making sure that there is no blockage

The benefits of MLD:

- Calming – by slowing the sympathetic nervous system and lowering blood pressure
- Pain relief – by blocking the pain signals to the brain through the constant change in movement and pressure during the treatment and encouraging the removal of cell debris.
- Immunity – although this is still being researched it is thought that MLD helps to improve the performance of the immune system.

I also offer ear candling followed by MLD facial, massage and reflexology.  Full details of all the treatments and prices can be found on my website www.hoppinghands.co.uk

Medical Herbalism

Can treat a wide range of conditions. After an in depth initial consultation a mixture of herbs are formulated to the individual and based on a holistic approach. Follow up consultations will follow progress.

The purpose of the consultation is to determine the cause (where possible) and best possible treatment for the individual.

The first consultation is about an hour. Questions will include those which help clarify the complaint, but will cover past medical history, diet, lifestyle, allergies, medication and self-medication and a review of body systems. Other diagnostic techniques may be employed if considered necessary, such as, blood pressure, pulse and tongue analysis.

After the consultation a personalised mixture of herbs, often in tincture form is made up and usually posted to the individual.

It is usually necessary to have a course of treatment to assess progress. These can vary in length according to the condition. Follow up appointments are about half an hour.

Herbal medicine can treat a wide range of conditions including: IBS/digestive disorders, menopausal/hormonal conditions, arthritis, skin conditions, allergies, stress and stress related conditions.
